\n<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\nWorld’s delight, spring’s sweetness,
\nmusic’s charm<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/span>Lie
\nwithin my arm.
\nEarth that is and heaven to come are here with me <\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Mastered
\non my knee.
\nOpen thy red petals, shrinking rose,
\nAnd thy heart disclose.
\nPant thy fragrance up to me, O my delight,
\nAll the perfumed night.
\nThou possessed and I possessing, earth
\nOpened for our mirth.
\nFlowers dropping on us from delighted trees, <\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Revels
\nof the breeze,
\nAll for me because I hold their Circe, white
\nQueen of their delight.
\nWanton, thou shalt know at last a chain
\nGolden to restrain.
\nNot a minute of thee shall escape my kiss,
\nCaptive made to bliss,
\nNot a wandering breath but love shall seize
\nWith his ecstasies.
\nAll thy body be a glorious happy lyre
\nPlayed on by desire
\nAnd thy soul shall be my absolute kingdom still To misrule at will.
\nWast thou hoping to escape at last?
\nNay, I held thee fast.
\nThou shalt know what love is, all his bliss and pain, <\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Fondling
\nand disdain.
\nJealousy and joy shall seize on thee by turns
\nTill thy whole heart burns.
\nI will learn now all that is to know
\nIn this golden show.
\nI will gather all there is of sweets to take
\nIn this scented brake.
\nAll the soul’s reserves of honied shame
\nSeized as by a flame                         
\n<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n
\nShall be mine and falter naked to the light
\nAnd discovered quite.
\nI will burn thee up as with a fire
\nOf unquenched desire.
\nI will ravage like a conqueror all thy soul
\nAnd annex the whole.
\nTo escape from joys too fierce that burn
\nThou in vain shalt turn.
\nPuissant Fate shall rescue not thy soul from mine <\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Nor
\ndecree divine.<\/span> .
\nNor shall Death release thy hunted
\nheart from fear, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

I
\nshall still be near.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
